Results - access archive

FFW high speed audio digitizing

• We digitize audio in 48KHz, 16bit

• We measure time and speed and have developed an algorithm who adjust the audio to realtime playback

FFW high speed audio digitizing• Benefits

• Seamless high speed audio digitizing

• Instant accessible in FFW archive

• Challenges

• High speed - not high quality audio digitizing

• Ok for speech, problems with music

• Improvements - (in pipeline)

• Better audio recorder quality (e.g. 196KHz)

• Improvement of algorithm

FFW high speed audio digitizing• Examples

FFW high speed picture digitizing

• We digitize in HD (1920x1200). 8bit, 150fps, RAW format, 450Mbit/s and use a LED 5600K light source

• We measure time and speed to trigger the camera and assemble the pictures to movie in 24 or 25fps

FFW high speed picture digitizing• Benefits

• Seamless high speed HD picture digitizing

• Instant viewable on FFW archive

• Challenges

• High speed god quality - but not as high quality as scanity

• Good for viewing & productions in many situations, e.g. content/quality control, internet distribution, sale, as archive filling, footage in TV productions, etc. Maybe even preservation for some part of the collections

• Improvements - (in pipeline)

• Better camera (e.g. 2K)

• Improvement of postproduction, better adjustment of color, light, etc. according to B&G collection

FFW high speed picture digitizing• Examples

FFW FLOW

• FFW FLOW consist of two components, FFW high speed film digitizing and FFW basic

High speed film digitizing Basic infrastructure

FFW FLOW deployment

• FFW FLOW deployment setup are based on one or more FFW high speed digitizing

setup on a specific physical location. FLOW uses the FFW basic infrastructure to

manage access, users, film digitization, registration, content, metadata, etc.

FFW basic infrastructure

• The core component in FFW basic is a fully tested, flexible and scalable web service

FFW basic

• FFW basic consist of two components, FFW production and FFW archive

FFW basic

• Both FFW production and FFW archive comes with an API

FFW basic

• API example

AGENDA - NEXT STEP1.The FFW elements in fast & efficient digitization 2.Mobile filmdigitization lab - based on FFWs technology we prepare THE B&G TEAM VAN. A transportable film lab, where B&G or FFW personal can visit external collaborators, or owners of acquired collections and digitize their collections on location.

3. Internal of highspeed digitization project - which could serve B&G in a number of ways.

1. The digitization of a specific sub-collections FX B&Gs News collection(s) or Commercials.

2. A (cost)analyses of the of the analog film archive of 30.000 hours.

3. A benchmark

FFW ELEMENTS

High-speed “project”

Digitization: • Setup • Volume • State • Team

Pre- digitization: • Insight & • Overview

Post- digitization:

• Access/distr. & • Enrichment

A product • online &/or • Museum

A high-speed digitization project involves several areas or projects where (new) knowledge and insights are gathered. Depending on B&Gs wishes and focus for a potential the next step the areas we should discuss and clarify are:

• Pre-digitization: What kind of collection(s) are we targeting, which (meta)data is available and where & how would we like to included in the workflow

• Digitization: Which kind of setup of FFW FLOW is needed(mobile solution, 1-? linies in parallel) and which team is needed, training, operators, film experts ++

• Post-digitization: What kind of access would be requested and could we enrich the content during the process or through automation and/crowdsourcing

• Product: Is their a product we would like to develop and/or facilitate during the high-speed collaboration

MOBILE FILM DIGITIZATION LAB

The development of a mobile digitization lab, which B&G can use to digitize already acquired film collections, new ones and collaborators collections. Project name: THE B&G TEAM

THE B&G TEAM

Digitization: • Setup • Volume • State • Team

Pre- digitization: • Insight & • Overview

Post- digitization:

INTERNAL HIGH-SPEED PROJECT

The establishment of 1-2 internal FFW digitization lines and a focussed digitization projects which delivers a “large” volume while analysing the 4 project areas, in order to create an overall estimation incl, a total cost budget, timeline, ressource clarification and some product examples. Project name: FAST & FURIOUS
